This week I was thrilled to see that we are having the massaging activity, since I enjoyed it so much last semester, and it was such a great experience so I signed up for it immediately. And it was indeed such a wonderful ten minutes experience and it literally made my whole day.
I like being massaged because it reminds me of the tensions I hold every day and the importance of relaxation. When the massagist press my back and my whole body will relax and my breath will go even, and my brain also fells clear. It was a really wonderful moment, and you really think about nothing in the brain but to follow the music and feel the body as water scatter out and floating around. Breathing is important, and normally my breathe is quite shallow, but when i was being massaged I can feel I’m breathing deeper, and sometimes when I was having difficulty falling asleep I will always reminding myself of the massaging feelings to relax.
After the massage, I feel myself as light and energetic as in the morning, and more efficient and focus doing my works and study, which is really surprising and wonderful. It’s so interesting of how much relaxation can bring us focus after. I really like this activity overall!
I’m glad you got a chance to relax during your massage! It’s a great tool to use that memory to help you relax while falling asleep!
